She swims in rough waters, finding momentary release from the pressures she faces on land. She has one more night before Simon’s party, and her phone is working again, so she feels more positive about her situation.

They take the molly Max gave Jack. Alex lets him kiss her because she thinks she owes him one more night before she disappears from his life. Jack reads the opening of Siddhartha to Alex.

When Jack insists on knowing who called Alex, she tells him that she owes a guy money. Jack comes up with a plan. He knows the code to his dad’s safe, where his dad stashes cash. Alex is affectionate with Jack on their last night together.
